NavePoint 3U Vertical Rack Rail Pair DIY Kit with Hardware, Black

Not much to say about them. They are thick, come with screws and work as intended. The only complaint is that there is paint inside the threaded holes making it pretty tough to get the screws in the first couple times but its not that big of a deal.. Just a little annoying.

The screws will fit tightly on first install, but they work in nicely. Machining is precise from what I've seen. The material is far tougher than Gator stuff and use thicker screws vs the 10-32 used by Gator. I've built rack cabinets with both and the gator stripped like crazy when installing the gear. The NavePoint are totally worth it and the only rail brand I would recommend as of now.

These are just as sturdy as the rails in a name-brand rack. A few of the holes were a bit tight to get a screw started, but none so bad that they cross-threaded or anything. I attached them to a frame made of 2x4s, put some casters on the bottom, and had an AV rack for less than $50. I’m sure they would work great in a cabinet as well, but make sure whatever you’re attaching them to will handle the weight of your equipment.

The height of sis set of brackets is perfect for my needs. The problem is that the screws for mounting screw are not correct… too course of a thread. And, the screw holes are slightly too large and the proper screws don’t tighten enough. I am trying to find matching nuts to fit the proper screws.

Folks - seeing multiple reviews from folks saying the included screws are not the right size to fit the mounting holes. These included screws are not for mounting to whatever you are intending to attach these rails to - they are for securing whatever equipment you attach to the rails once the rails are installed. The included screws aren't even pointed - how would anyone think that these are what they are supposed to use to install the rail into a piece of wood or something? Anyway, these are great - great value for the money and you will need some mounting screws. There are a couple different size holes on the mounting side so you can choose which holes you use depending on the size of screw that you have.

The rails have a good finish. They come with rack screws. Beware. The paint needs to be cleaned out of the rack screw holes. Also it helps to clean the threads of the rack screws. Taking these stepswill assist you in having a good experience.

Looks like a nice product, sturdy and good quality. However replacing my older american rack rails, the original Argossy screws fit loosely. Threads are somewhat wider than US products. These rails come with a set of screws, but no plastic washers. I have tried my plastic washers but they are just a bit smaller than these screws and do not fit.

I had to use the drill bit/tap that I bought to drill and tap threads into the rack case because the threads on these were too small. The screws would not go in no matter how hard I tried. But after using the tap/bit they are just fine. Would recommend to the company to get the guy thats doing the coating to remove any additional coating and thread the holes properly - as metal AND coating came off as I had to literally rethread the pieces to fit. Still worth it to me though, as it was an easy fix for me. Might not be for someone else, and you get what you pay for I suppose.

Works perfectly

Well made. Many people complain that the screws dont fit the threaded holes. Mine fit perfectly. Very happy with this product.

I bought 4 of these and they are all excellent ! Highly recommend !

It should have been a dead giveaway that there was something wrong when the supplied screws were the wrong threads, but I shrugged it off, set the screws aside and installed the rails anyway. The very first component I installed using the properly threaded screws and with minimal torque stripped out one of the holes. I had ordered two pairs, so thinking maybe it was a fluke I swapped out the rail and the EXACT SAME hole stripped out. For experiment’s sake I tried torquing a few more holes and they all gave in with minimal effort. Some of them even stripped out halfway through. Save your money, buy something else.

The rails work great string and sturdy. The included bolts do not thread into rails wrong size gauge and thread.
